Letters Patent No. 101,652, dated April 5, 1870 dane-' GRIDIRON-CASE.

The Schedule referred to intheee Letters Patent and making part of thesame To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MILTON V. N oBLns,of Elmira, in the county of Ohemung and State -of New York, haveinvented a new and valuable Improvement in Gridiron-Cases; and I dohereby declare that theA following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the construction and operation of the same, referencebeing had to the annexed drawing making a part vof this specication, andto the letters and figures of reference' marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawing is a representation of a vertical section of mygridiron case.

Figure 2 is a view of my gridiron adapted for operation in said case;and

Figure 3 is'an external view of said case, showing the `mode ofconnection between the sections thereof.

My invention relates to household utensils, and

It consists in acase of novel construction and form, adapted for use inconjunction with a certain gridiron for which Letters Patent wereallowed me on the 29th day of October,1869.

Myvgridiron-case is constructed in two sections, marked respectively Aand B, on the drawings.

The section A has a handle marked C attached to its top, and its bottomis enlarged in such manner as to shut over the upper edge or rim ofsection B, and thereby be attachable to o r removable from said sectionB at will.

The letters a represent 4small ears or lugs in which the sliding holt cis held and operated.

I also make openings in said section A marked (l, (one on each sidethereof,) to provide for holding and operating the gridiron, ashereinafter mentioned.

I sometimes make the extreme top of section B of mica, or I may make anopening therein, to be closed at will by a sliding door, to enable theoperator to ex'- amine the interior of the case without removing lordisconnecting one section from the other.

Section Bis constructed in the form shown `on the drawings, and is openat both ends. Being substantially of the shape -of an inverted cone, itslower end is adapted to fit in potl1oles of various sizes from six toten inches in diameter without the aid of rimmers.

The upper end otl this section B is arranged to f1tinside the lower endof a section A, and l make a' shoulder, s, to form a rest or support forsection A when the two sections are united.

The letter e represents a lug or ear on section B, adapted to receivethe b olt c, and in conjunction with lugs a to hold the two sectionsrmly together, when desirable so to do.

The letter H represents my gridiron, above referred l'to,a'full-description of which is given in my'specification accompanying myapplication for Letters Patent, and to which specification I herebyrefer.

The mode of adjusting my gridiron in the ca se is shown on iig. l of thedrawing, and.when so adjusted it may be rotated at will, the objectbeing to bring each side of the article being beveled ortoasted to there as often and as long as may be necessary or de- `Wtnesses D. D. KANE,E. W. ANDERSON.
